Gluing machine for bags: efficient and reliable sealing with Fischbein
A Fischbein gluing machine for bags offers a fast, precise, and durable way to close paper and multi-wall bags without the use of sewing. With advanced models like the Fischbein PBC6000, PILS300 and DRC300, you can seal various types of bags using a high-performance hot melt glue machine that ensures maximum protection. These automatic bag closers by gluing are widely used in industries such minerals, animal feed and agriculture, as well as many other products. Thanks to their speed and accuracy, Fischbein gluing systems streamline your packaging process and create dust- and moisture-proof closures which prevents product’s spillage.
Very energy-efficient machines are specially designed for use with multi-wall bags in extremely corrosive environments. Equipped with highly efficient heating elements and the patented breakaway device automatic opening system, they are the ultimate machines for closing paper bags with pinch tops.
With their unique thermal tubing system, these machines distribute the heat evenly over the top of the pinch bag for perfect closure. And, thanks to the unique patented breakaway device concept, there are no more bag jams!
A machine specially designed for sealing small multi-wall paper bags between 1 and 20 kg, ensuring effective control of the distribution of the hot-melt glue.
Fischbein hot melt glue machine: powerful technology for industrial packaging
Fischbein’s hot melt glue machines PBC6000 and PILS300 are specially designed for the reliable closure of pre-glued, multi-wall paper bags with folded tops (Pinch Top bags). Featuring a unique and innovative heat distribution system to reactivate the hot melt. The DRC range closes continuously the bag with a double roll on the bag top and application of the melted glue line before introduction between the pressure belts. These industrial gluing machines provide a strong, hermetic seal: perfect for heavy or complex packaging. Key features include outside bag cleaning before sealing and safety mechanisms that prevent jams. These continuous bag closers are robust and ideal for high-speed industrial packaging lines where precision and uptime are essential.
Smart features for continuous operation
Each automatic gluing machine from Fischbein includes intelligent functions like: integrated cleaning of the bag’s outer surface before gluing and jam-prevention safety mechanisms. This ensures continuous, smooth operation — even under tough production conditions with dust, humidity, or temperature fluctuations. The technologies in the Fischbein hot melt continuous bag closers by gluing not only provide a strong and clean seal but also give your packaging a professional appearance, without stitches or threads. Most of the Pinch Top bags are with gussets and therefore are easier to stack and handle during storage and transport. As all our bag closing solutions, Fischbein gluing machines are easy to integrate into existing packaging lines.

Frequently asked questions
Why glue bags instead of sewing or sealing?
Gluing bags provides a dust- and moisture-resistant seal without perforations like those caused by sewing, offering better protection for the contents. With this solution product in the bag and environment are well separate, also in case of bags only made of paper. The process is often faster and quieter than sewing and is suitable for a wide range of materials. Gluing also reduces the risk of damage that can occur when sealing sensitive or complex bags. In addition, gluing provides a cleaner and more aesthetic finish, making it ideal for packaging that requires a professional appearance for the end user.
What is hot melt glue and how is it applied?
Hot melt glue is a thermoplastic adhesive that is heated until it melts and becomes liquid. It is then quickly applied and solidifies upon cooling to create a strong bond. In the packaging industry, it’s used to rapidly and securely close bags without requiring drying time. The glue is applied directly to the closure edges of the bag during manufacturing (Pinch Top bags – Fischbein bag closers range PBC and PILS) or by an integrated hot melt glue applicator (standard open mouth bag – Fischbein bag closers range DRC). Hot melt glue is flexible and adheres well to a variety of materials, making it a reliable sealing solution. It is also compatible with automated packaging lines
What materials is gluing suitable for?
Gluing is suitable for paper, cardboard, plastic films, and multilayer packaging materials. In particular, multiwall paper bags with a hot melt strip or inner liner can be effectively sealed using glue. Certain plastic bags with specialized coatings are also compatible with hot melt adhesive. The flexibility of glue allows it to be used on various bag sizes and thicknesses, making gluing a versatile sealing method across many industries.
What is a continuous bag gluing machine and how does it work in the packaging industry?
A continuous bag gluing machine is a device that automatically applies glue to packaging materials or reactivate the hot melt applied on a Pinch Top bag to seal them. In the packaging industry, hot melt glue machines apply adhesive to paper or plastic bags as part of the production process. The machine heats the glue and presses the bag’s closure edges together to form a tight seal. Sensors and intelligent controls allow the machine to operate consistently and safely within automated packaging lines.
What types of continuous gluing machines are available for packaging?
There are various types of gluing machines, each with specific features. Some models are designed for closing folded-top multiwall paper bags (Pinch Top bags), while others handle standard open mouth bags. Compact machines exist for small production volumes, and heavy-duty industrial gluing machines are available for high-speed operations. Some systems include additional features like dust removal outside the bag and motorized height adjustment. The right choice depends on the packaging type and production needs.
What are the benefits of using a continuous bag gluing machine in a packaging line?
A continuous bag gluing machine improves efficiency by providing fast and consistent closures without manual labor. It helps prevent leaks and damage that could occur especially with sewing. Automated operation reduces errors and increases hygiene and safety. Additionally, automatic gluing machines can be integrated into automated packaging lines for a streamlined production process. This leads to cost savings and improved product quality.
How do I choose the right gluing machine for my packaging needs?
Select a gluing machine based on the types of bags or packaging materials you need to close. Consider the required speed, production capacity, and integration possibilities in your existing packaging line. Also look for useful dust removal, and safety mechanisms and also if a motorized height adjustment is available. The machine should be reliable and easy to maintain. Fischbein can help you choose the best machine for your specific product and process.
What are the maintenance requirements for a gluing machine?
Regular cleaning of the glue applicators or heating modules prevents clogging and ensures smooth adhesive flow. Monitoring temperature settings and moving parts helps maintain consistent performance. Worn parts like glue belts or rollers should be replaced in time to avoid breakdowns. It’s important to respond to error messages and alarms immediately. A preventive maintenance plan extends the machine’s lifespan and minimizes downtime.
What does a continuous bag gluing machine cost, and how fast is the return on investment?
The cost of a gluing machine varies significantly depending on the model, capacity, and features. A high-volume industrial gluing machine for specialized applications is typically more expensive than a basic model. The return on investment depends on production speed, labor savings, and reduced product loss due to better bag closing quality. In many cases, the ROI ranges from a few months to a couple of years. Proper maintenance and efficient use help accelerate profitability.
